Protein Domain : Methyltransferase FkbM IPR006342

Type  Domain
Description  This domain is characterised by two well-conserved short regions separated by a variable region in both sequence and length. The first of the two regions is found in a large number of proteins outside this group, a number of which have been characterised as methyltransferases. One member of this group, FkbM, was shown to be required for a specific methylation in the biosynthesis of the immunosuppressant FK506 in Streptomyces strain MA6548 [].This domain is also found in other methyltransferases such as SdnD from the fungus Sordaria araneosa, involved in the biosynthesis of glycoside antibiotics with tetracyclic diterpene aglycone structure [ ] and in AMB antimetabolite synthase AmbE from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which participates in the biosynthesis of the antimetabolite L-2-amino-4-methoxy-trans-3-butenoic acid (AMB), a non-proteinogenic amino acid which is toxic for prokaryotes and eukaryotes [, ].
